During the interior design schematic phase, designers translate broad concepts and ideas into visual representations, laying the foundation for the overall design direction. Here's an overview of the interior design schematic phase:

1. Conceptualization:

Gather project requirements, client preferences, and site information to inform the initial design concepts.

2. Space Planning:

Develop preliminary space plans and layouts to organize the interior space effectively, considering functionality and circulation.

3. Material and Finish Selection:

Explore material options, finishes, and color palettes that align with the design concept and project goals.

4. Furniture and Fixture Placement:

Determine the placement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) to optimize functionality and flow within the space.

5. Visual Representation:

Create visual representations such as mood boards, conceptual sketches, and 3D renderings to communicate the design intent to the client and stakeholders.

6. Client Collaboration:

Present the schematic design concepts to the client for feedback and approval, incorporating their input to refine the design direction.

7. Documentation:

Document the finalized schematic design through drawings, renderings, and material specifications for reference in subsequent design phases.

The interior design schematic phase sets the stage for further development and refinement in subsequent phases, providing a clear direction and framework for the project.
